What do you seek to communicate with your work?

I focus a lot on shapes, line art, and bold colors to try and share how all things can connect and harmonize with each other.

How has nature been a source of inspiration for you?

Nature is the ultimate source of inspiration. Growing up, I loved to go camping and hiking. I've always felt a very deep love for the outdoors. It's a constant theme in my art and if I ever feel uninspired, a walk around the park always brings new ideas. 

Tell us about your most memorable bird experience.

Years ago I went on a white water rafting trip where I saw a Bald Eagle's nest with a couple eagles chilling inside. The nest was absolutely massive! The eagles were so beautiful, so the whole thing was very memorable.
